Growing up, the holy
trinity of action stars for me and my friends were Stallone,
Schwarzenegger, and Van Damm. They were true icons and role models
for the kids as well as adults. Out of these three, Sylvester
Stallone, probably, had the most prolific career. In fact, he’s still
going strong just not in the same quantity. Just think about it, Sly
is 73 years old and there are 4 movies with him as an actor coming up
according to IMDb. That’s insane to me!
Throughout the decades
Stallone has had dozens of hit movies that are iconic today. From
Rocky and Cliffhanger to Expendables and Creed, here are top 8 most
fun Sylvester Stallone movies!
1. Judge Dredd
Brutal, gory, and
unforgettable. In this post-apocalyptic future, there’s no room for
compassion. If you’re guilty of something, you’ll be arrested. That’s
the best case scenario. Otherwise the Judges will get you and execute
you on the spot. One of the most badass movies on this list.
2. The Expendables
Just when we thought the
80-90s’ action stars were done with epic movies, the Expendables
happened! A bunch of old-school soldiers are trying to do something
or other. Hey, you don’t watch these movies for the plot. It’s all
about the action and the cheesy one-liners!
3. Cliffhanger
After a plane crashed in
the mountains, a former rescuer meets a group of stranded people and
now has to help them get to safety. There’s just one little problem:
there strangers are dangerous robbers who are there to find the $100
mil that crashed along with the plane. Don’t question it, just enjoy!
4. Rambo: First Blood
Vietnam veteran John
Rambo, the only surviving member of his squad, arrives to a small
town only to discover that the local sheriff wants him gone. And he
ain’t asking politely. After rounds of tortures and abusive behavior,
Rambo escapes to the woods where the real bloodshed is about to
begin.
5. Rocky
You know what this movies
is about – determination! But also boxing. Rocky Balboa, the
up-and-coming boxer, trains like crazy to beat the crap out of his
opponent. What’s not to love?
6. Cobra
A badass LA cop stumbles
upon a huge conspiracy involving all sorts of big names, gets shot at
like a million times, kidnaps a witness who’s seen the leader of the
bad guys, and now they’re both need in a terrible danger. It’s quite
clearly not a very cerebral movie.
7. Creed
What happened to Rocky
Balboa after he got old and weak? Of course, he retired. But not for
long. When Michael B Jordan knocks on your door, there’s not much you
can do but to say yes. Incredibly motivational movie!
8. Demolition Man
Demolition Man is made out of pure adrenaline. It starts in “present day” with Stallone’s character hunting down Wesley Snipes. The streets are on fire, entire city blocks are destroyed, and even though the police caught him in the end, he got sent to an experimental cryo prison. Of course, Stallone gets put on ice as well, in case some day in the future the evil guy gets defrosted. Guess what? The evil guy gets defrosted “by mistake”. Stuff flies off the rails, people die, three shells are being used… Definitely my favorite Stallone movie!
